CompEcon Project Template

This is the replication project template.

Step Number 1

• Click top right on use this template, then create a new repository.
• Choose a suitable name for your replication project.
• Clone your new repository to your computer.
• Open this locally in VScode.

(you get a nice preview of this document in VScode by executing command Markdown: Open preview - type this into the command 😉 )

This page should contain concise information for how to

1. install your julia package
2. run the unit tests
3. run the replication output (there needs to be a single entry point that runs everything, ideally called run_all())
4. gives instructions for how to compile and where to see your replication report. See https://quarto.org for instructions for how to use quarto.

First steps

1. Copy the original replication package into the folder replication-package

2. (optional) follow instructions in replication-package to replicate desired exhibits

3. set up your julia package in this repo. To do so, start the julia REPL in this location (alt-J alt-O, otherwise look in command palette)

4. Choose a name for your replication package, for example XYZ.jl (choose something better and replace XYZ throughout with your choice!)

5. Generate your julia package in this directory with

   using Pkg
   Pkg.generate("XYZ.jl")

6. In the VScode file browser on the left, investigate the newly created directory

7. Activate your package:

   julia> Pkg.activate("XYZ.jl")
   
   # load it
   julia> using XYZ
   
   # run function
   julia> XYZ.greet()
   Hello World!

8. Edit the code in XYZ.jl/src/XYZ.jl, maybe adding a word to the greet function. Save the file. Call the function again.

   julia> XYZ.greet()
   Hello World, Earthlings!
